substantial boxes for our tracker dbs, oh well.
SuperMicro has some reasonably cheap boards with 16 667Mhz (cheap!)
memory slots. 16 2GB modules are ~$1300. At YellowBot we have less
than a dozen servers, but we've recently filled them ~all up with 2GB
modules. It didn't cost us much and for now we're pretty close to
"plenty memory for everything". Highly recommended. :-)
Here's a 1U version with cheap support for 32GB memory:

Search for R266 and R276 for the 2 and 3U versions of the same-ish
server.
